Haley Doesn’t Cite Slavery As Cause Of US Civil War

“I think it always comes down to the role of government and what the rights of the people are. And we will always stand by the fact that I think the government was intended to secure the rights and freedoms of the people.

“It was never meant to be all things to all people. Government doesn’t need to tell you how to live your life. They don’t need to tell you what you can and can’t do.

“They don’t need to be a part of your life. They need to make sure that you have freedom.” – Nikki Haley, when asked what the cause of the Civil War was.
